The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on offer around here.
To be honest, it’s a pretty flat run ahead. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak swell with a lot of cross-shore wind mucking things up. The water’s sitting at 86°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a steamer.
For the first week, don’t get your hopes up. From Thursday the 20th through to the end of August, we’re looking at tiny surf – mostly around 1.0ft to 2ft – with periods barely scraping above 6 seconds. The energy is pathetic, often in the single digits (8 to 20), so you’re fighting for any kind of ride. The winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, which just chops it up. There are a few moments of glass: Monday morning the 24th has a 2ft swell from the NW with a clean surface, and Tuesday morning the 25th is dead calm and glassy, but with 1ft and a weak 6-second period, it’s barely a ripple.
The second week doesn’t really save us either. We finally see a little bump on Friday the 28th morning with 2ft from the WNW and the energy climbing to 40, but it’s still cross-on. Saturday the 29th morning gets up to 3ft with period hitting 8 seconds and energy at 72, but the wind is cross-on again. The only real standout is Sunday the 30th morning, where we get glassy conditions with a 2ft WNW swell (period 7 seconds, energy 43). That’s the cleanest window in the whole 16-day stretch.
After that, it trails off again into tiny, messy surf right through to Wednesday the 2nd of September and into the next week. There’s a glassy morning on Wednesday the 2nd with just 1ft, and another on Friday the 4th morning with 2ft, but honestly, none of these produce enough push for a proper session.
So, if I had to pick the one shot… it’s the morning of Sunday the 30th of August at Hof Maravi. The wind goes glassy, the swell is a small but workable 2ft from the WNW, and the energy is moderate at 43. For a beach/jetty setup that’s very consistent, it’s your best bet in a quiet forecast. Just don’t expect it to be great – and because it can get crowded sometimes, you might have company.
Otherwise, it’s a long wait for any real juice.

Information about the Hof Maravi Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Hof Maravi provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hof Maravi can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hof Maravi surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Hof Maravi may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
